Greta Thunberg has inspired a new world-wide generation of young climate activists. As an effective communicator on climate change, the young Swedish schoolgirl is currently in a league of her own. “In a way,” Naomi Klein writes, “she is asking those of us whose mental wiring is more typical – less prone to extraordinary focus and more capable of living with moral contradictions – to be more like her.”
Most of us do have the capacity to rationalize, to compartmentalize, and to be distracted easily. “All three of these mental tricks,” writes Klein, “help us get through the day.” But then she adds that these traits are also “proving to be our collective undoing” when it comes to rising to the reality of our climate crisis.
